CONTROL SIGNALING IN MULTIPLE ACCESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

Control signaling in multiple access communication systems, including apparatus and methods, is disclosed. Multiple access to a wireless communication link is based on power modulation division. Modulation information, capacity information, resource scheduling information, and resource assignment information is determined by a base station. Information is transmitted to user equipment devices in a common control channel in accordance with the determined modulation information, capacity information and resource scheduling information. Information is also transmitted to supporting user equipment, which supports the power modulation division multiple access, in a user equipment-specific control channel in accordance with the determined resource assignment information.

主权项

1. A base station for multiple access based on power modulation division communication comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit transmissions; a controller, coupled to the transmitter, the controller comprising a processor to: determine modulation information, capacity information, resource scheduling information, and resource assignment information for a plurality of User Equipment devices (UEs); provide information to the transmitter for transmission through a communication interface in a common control channel in accordance with the determined modulation information, capacity information and resource scheduling information to the plurality of UEs; and provide information to the transmitter for transmission to a UE of the plurality of UEs through the communication interface in a UE-specific control channel in accordance with the determined resource assignment information.
